This Background guide has been prepared for offline and online use. It promotes cultural awareness while countering misconceptions. For these reasons it covers a wide range of issues ranging from multi-lingual education to storytelling; from music, dance, arts and crafts to success stories.

Readers are encouraged to discuss topics of special interest while exploring new horizons for the sake of future generations. This is readily achieved with the help of contributors from all walks of life, be they educators, writers, farmers, scientists or musicians (including first hand accounts by members of the communities concerned).

Downloading the PDF version of this guide enables readers to instantly access the sources quoted (full articles) in addition to audiovisual resources. 

Further research is facilitated by several tools pointing to books and articles by reputed authors and publishers including Open Access (free) eBooks and eJournals for in-depth studies (see "Fact checking, updates and book search").

Please note: the earlier version, i.e. 

https://archive.org/details/tribal-cultural-heritage-india-background-guide/Tribal_Culture_India_Background_Guide-1 

contains hyperlinks to the website www.indiantribalheritage.org; these hyperlinks are absent in the more recent version in anticipation of the website's discontinuation at some point in the future. 

Both versions contain hyperlinks leading to the original sources as well as internal ones (e.g. Table of Contents, fact checking and bookmarks). 

Using the hyperlinks and bookmarks requires downloading (i.e. they are inactive in the present viewer).
